Sam the scout is going on a camp out with his boy-scout troop. There are large tents that sleep 6 boys and small tents that slee
p 4 boys. The ratio of large tents to small tents is 8 to 5. There are exactly enough tents to sleep 816 boys. How many tents of each size are there?
1 answer:
Answer:
There are 96 large tents and 60 small tents
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the number of tents of each sizes there
Let the number of 6-boys tent be s and the number of 4-boys tent be f
6s + 4f = 816 ••••••(i)
Ratio of large to small ( ratio of s to f)
8:5 = s/f
8/5 = s/f
8f = 5s
f = 5s/8 ••••(ii)
Substitute ii into i
6s + 4(5s/8) = 816
6s + 5s/2 = 816
Multiply through by 2
12s + 5s = 1,632
17s = 1632
s = 1632/17
s = 96
f = 5s/8
f = (5 * 96)/8 = 60

Cost = (3500 W)·(1 kw/1000 W)·(10 hrs/day)·(30 day/month)·($0.13/kw-hr)
Cost = (3500·1·10·30·0.13 / 1000)·(W·kW·hr·da·$ / W·da·month·kw·hr)
Cost = <em> 136.50 $/month</em>
That would be simplified into
1.41 • 1.73 • 2.82 = 6.9
i don’t know what the choices are bc you didn’t put them but hopefully this does someone some good <3
